I like the cut o' your jib. The local public transit guide you write, is that for work or for your own knowledge base? I'm curious how you're organizing this while keeping the human touch. I'm exploring ways to organize

I'm having trouble finding the right incantations to bubblewrap opencode when in a silverblue toolbox. It can't use tools. Anyone have tips?

When the only winning move is corner-the-market, the only way for the customer to win is not to play the game. I'll take my token-money elsewhere. That said, the author is deluding themselves if they think OpenAI is supporting OpenCode

We may do well to ask the same of what we call phones. Our use of them may be more valuable to others than to ourselves.

I'd like to weaponize all this scanning into a force for good. Instead of phoning home to Roku, send the fingerprints up to an ADID database registering every ad on the planet. Open up an API so that any video stream can detect an ad a

Nowadays, the shareholders just talk to each other in these press releases, knowing the customer can't do squat about it. You'll get de-risked, unprecedented alignment and you'll like it too!

I don't want anything to do with EA nor FIFA. How's Konami's eFootball these days for couch play? I don't give a rats about pay-to-win online. Can I mod it with real player/team names and run it on Linux?

You may like Zen browser. It''s best just to ignore tabs anyway. After reopening a window they'll be inactive until you open them.

I was a SwiftKey fan over a decade ago, but wait... you have to log onto an account for it now? Sigh, phones need a 'dotfiles' revolution.

SQLite db's do not reliably survive Syncthing across multiple devices. Until that's true I am always seeking a DB design that does.

I don't think one can both pull the fire alarm that AGI was a lie AND that if OAI has to act quickly. They can ride their current street rep the same way Kleenex did. They do need to build a business, but they've got time to play

I've been using bubblewrap for sandboxing my command line executables. But I admit I haven't recently researched if there's a newer way people are handling this. Seems Firejail is popular for GUI apps? How do you recommend, s

OpenAI doesn't have the moat. I'm sure they're plotting one, and it's tantalizing how quiet they are about it. In my favorite timeline, they fork GrapheneOS and throw boatloads of money at it. Embarass the Copilot clowns

Great timing this article. I came to HN to escape a frustration point where this blooming script behaves differently when wrapped in a systemd service than when I run it on its own. I suspect there's some systemd punctuatory dance with
